I have never in my life been more proud to be a Canadian then last week during the World Championships. I was proud to represent Canada, but it was so much more then that. The local communities were so supportive of the event and all the athletes. I have never seen so many people at an event, and so pumped up, cheering loud, flying flags, and all smiles and high fives. There were so many people that told me they have lived here their whole lives and this was the first time to the river or that they had never seen kayaking before, these people and all the fans, this is what was so amazing for me. I was beyond overwhelmed by the support of everyone that I was fighting back tears in the Finals. I am extremely proud to call myself a Canadian and I wear my maple leaf with pride. 🇨🇦👊🌊🚣❤️ #canadianpride #whitewater #kayaking #ICFfreestyle
